Works as intended. The 8x

Works as intended. The 8x is just as good as another brand's 10x at similar price point.

The best glass I have

The best glass I have purchased. Went with the 10x52 vs the 12x and extremely happy. Distance and clarity were great for big game hunting in Colorado.

Solid pair of binoculars. Crystal clear vision. Bought for an upcoming Alaskan cruise but I had to test them out first. I couldn't be happier! More quality optics from Leupold!

Leupold does not disappoint

Bought the 10x42 last year for an elk hunt in Colorado. The clarity and low light performance are incredible. Use them frequently for whitetail hunts.

Best Binoculars. All that and some.

I bought these binoculars for deer hunting, and their performance right out of the box was outstanding. I easily spotted a gray squirrel perched on the top branch of a tree at about 100 yards - the crisp detail was impressive. Their low-light performance is excellent as well. I'm really enjoying my BX-2 HDs and look forward to putting them to use during the upcoming hunting season.

Got these to have for

Got these to have for PRS rifle match. The glass was clear and I had no problems finding the targets out to 900 yards. Using a cheap tripod and the tripod strap.

I'll give these a 5

I'll give these a 5 stars! I'm breaking into the PRS game and these are good for what they are. I should have jumped up to the BX-4 15-56. I'll definitely hold on to these and try my hand at hunting, I'm sure these will come in handy as well on a hunt!

Great binoculars, case set-up could be better.

Solid functional binoculars , easy to use focus. My issues are with the case/strap set-up. Should be able to simply use binoculars with a strap rather than the entire harness set-up.

Not a equivalent replacement

I was sent a pair of BX-2 Alpine 10x42 as a replacement for a pair of Cascades that I sent in for warranty repair. I was told that they couldn't fix the moisture issue in the Cascades and was sent the the Alpines. First issue is that I was sent a lower priced binoculars than what I had paid for my Cascades. Second issue, my Cascades were clearer than these and focused much better. In my opinion the BX-2 Alpines are a lesser quality binoculars than the Cascades that they replaced and after being a long time Leupold customer I will be looking for a new optics provider.

Great for Bird watching

By Julio L.

Bought for my wife and she loves them. They are rugged, rubber coating allows for great grip from any part of the binoculars. They grab tons of light and often objects appear brighter than the outside environment. Have several Leopold products and definitely recommend.

waranty --service-product best of all 6 stars

While 10x42 binoculars are tried-and-true, sometimes you just need more light. By moving up to the BX-2 Alpine HD 12x52mm, you increase the amount of light getting to your eye, which is great for low-light conditions.

Whether it's your first binocular or your 50th, your glass needs to give you a bright image, feel comfortable in your hands, and be able to take a beating. Now available with high-definition performance, the BX-2 Alpine HD binocular checks all of these boxes and more. Built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, it offers tried and true light transmission for extended glassing sessions, best in class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand.

It comes with Pro Gear accessories, too: including a GO Afield binocular harness, lens covers, and lens cloth. And like all Leupold binoculars, it's fogproof, waterproof, and guaranteed to perform for life.

• High-Definition Clarity: Scratch And Smudge Resistant Lens Coatings
• Lightweight & Comfortable: Ergonomic Open Bridge Design
